The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Great Tang!

The controversy in Tianying Pavilion has already had a result in three days, and Li Yuanxing does not want to participate in it, but he has become the mediator of Tianying Pavilion's position Zuihou.

What did Li Yuanxing do?

In fact, he did nothing, but he sat down. Because he sat on the protocol desk of Tianyingge, he listened to a debate in Zuihou, and gave a testimony to the determination of several candidates for Tianyingge Zuihou.

In return, Tianying Pavilion was the first to be approved by unanimous vote.

Li Chunfeng asked for a decree, and the Tang Emperor Li Er issued an edict to change the year name to Zhenguan. No.: The first emperor was 848 years old, the first year of the Tang Dynasty. This decree was signed by Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, and then attached to the signatures of the 100 scholars of the Tianying Pavilion and the 80 officials of the Counseling Pavilion.

This is the first official decree of Zhenguan, and it is also a decree signed by courtiers in addition to the emperor.

Responsible for reciting the holy decree is the Tang Dynasty Rite Department Shangshu Wang Heshan!

Era names signify blessings, praises, and changes of dynasty. The era name, which is considered to be the orthodox symbol of the ancient Chinese emperors and represents the legitimacy of the regime, is called "Fengzhengshuo".

However, the use of the era name of one regime by another is considered one of the signs of vassalage and submission.

Therefore, the year 848 was disagreed with by Confucian scholars, but they regarded the great unification of Qin Shi Huang as a great achievement. After several discussions, they reluctantly agreed, but they demanded that Qin Shi Huang's personal era name should not be reflected, and the meaning of the scriptures was changed to mean that the first emperor was the first emperor of China, marking the orthodoxy of Chinese imperial power.

Li Yuanxing smiled when he heard this explanation. It's really a cat meowing, who can say that Ying Zheng is not the first emperor.

What really made Confucian scholars agree was another sentence of Li Yuanxing.

"Everyone, if people in the world record the date, they will precede the first emperor of China with a certain year, and then their own imperial power year, what does this mean?"

What does it represent? It represents the supreme power and the suzerain of the world.

Wang Jishan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the opportunity to recite this holy decree when it was issued. Immediately, an envoy sent a letter of state: "The first emperor of China is willing to take the year 848 of the first emperor of China as the official calendar." ”

The Yan Yan will not shout the first year of the Tang Dynasty. Because this is what it means to be voluntarily reduced to a subject state.

But the meaning of the first emperor 848 is different. The Chinese general era name of a great emperor, which is equivalent to the name of the god. Not surrender, but worship!

Li Yuanxing, who was standing on the wall of the Vermilion Bird Gate of Chang'an City, approached Li Er and said, "Brother Huang, this guy is very smart. A word of nonsense at least exchanged for a thousand catties of pig iron for his brother. Or five hundred swords! ”

Li Er glared at Li Yuanxing: "The great respect of the country." You dare to open your mouth with 500 knives! ”

Li Yuanxing smiled and did not speak again. Strode to the city wall and ascended to the altar. The guards sent the microphone with both hands, and Li Yuanxing patted the microphone: "There are still eight hours to reach the first year of Zhenguan." Today is the Zuihou day of the ninth year of Wude. The king has prepared a ten-day New Year's celebration, and everyone remembers to buy a newspaper, which will have a detailed schedule. However, there is no today, and Weishenme does not have today. ”

Li Yuanxing laughed, and the people under the city wall also laughed.

In the hearts of the people, King Qin is majestic, and His Royal Highness King Qin has won a great victory for the Tang Dynasty.

"There is no agenda today, because this king wants to be a son today and give a gift to his father. This king is not the king of Qin, but the son of man. This king hopes that today, as children, can have a heart for the elders who have worked hard for a year, even if it is just in a bowl of hot water. ”

When Li Yuanxing spoke, he actually cried.

When Li Yuanxing came to Datang, he had no relatives in modern times. His father is gone, and his brother who raised him died early.

These tears are not fake, especially when it is like the Chinese New Year, Li Yuanxing will think of his childhood home.

Li Yuanxing's tears touched everyone, that is, the Tang Emperor Li Erdu came over and gently patted Li Yuanxing's shoulder, and stood with Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing wiped away his tears: "Youshi!" Fengqiyuan outside Chang'an City, Datang Arena. The king invited the people of Chang'an to take a look, and the king and the royal brother wanted to give gifts to their father! ”

"Holy benevolence and filial piety, King Qin benevolence and filial piety!" The people began to cheer.

Li Er took over the words, originally he didn't plan to come out, but seeing Li Yuanxing's limelight was really exciting. So he took the microphone and waved his hand, and the cheers of the people slowly quieted down.

What Li Yuanxing is going to do next, Li Er naturally knows.

"The people of the Tang Dynasty, I declare that the New Year's celebration will start tonight and end on the 10th day of the first month of the first year. During this period, the curfew was lifted in Chang'an City, and the shop was not closed. There are celebrations every day on Fengqi Plain, starting at noon every day and ending at the end of the sub-hour, where the people of Chang'an will have a royal gift. ”

Again a flurry of cheers.

When the people calmed down again, Li Er suddenly stood up straight: "In the past ten days, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty guarding the frontier have worked hard. I ...... "Li Er can't go on, the original lines are Li Yuanxing's, it should be to say, this king is thanking you on behalf of Datang and something like that."

But Li Er is the emperor, so he can't say such things.

Li Er did a Tang Dynasty military salute at this time.

Li Jing was stunned, this was definitely an accident, and no one told him beforehand. Hurriedly made an example, came to Li Er, and solemnly gave a military salute: "The ministers of the Tang Dynasty swear that they will never give up for the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Jing reacted, but more people were shocked, and the people didn't figure out what was going on at all.

Li Er raised his voice: "The forbidden army of Chang'an, guarding Chang'an." Datang New Year's Ceremony, you have worked hard! "Anyway, it's another Tang Dynasty military salute, this kind of military salute Li Er doesn't know how many times he did it when he was the king of Qin, even if he was not wearing armor at this time, he also had the demeanor of a king.

"Guarding Chang'an, the heroes of all armies!" Qin Qiong stood up, and under his echo, tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers shouted in unison.

"There is no curfew in Chang'an City for ten days, and the people are celebrating, but the soldiers are not allowed to rest and need to be on duty all night. I thanked you on behalf of the people of Chang'an, and I specially rewarded each of them with a set of winter clothes. Money a hundred. Li Er was so excited that he even thanked Wu Hou by the way, Li Yuanxing patted his head when he listened, this should be his own lines.

The entire Chang'an City almost all fell to their knees, shouting that the Holy Lord was wise and martial.

There are all kinds of shouts, it's already a mess.

Li Er was very excited, he felt that he was really too wise, such an opportunity itself should not be Li Yuanxing's, this should be his own Tang Emperor's.

"Let's lose money!" Wu Cao gloated on the side.

"It's a loss, Wu Hou's sweaters add up to hundreds of times. Arena those gifts. Ten days down. There are also nearly 1,000 kan, and this number is huge. It's better to find a way to earn it back! Li Yuanxing also whispered.

Wu Cao giggled.

After going down the city wall, in fact, according to the modern time, it is already about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the unitary time is seven o'clock in the evening.

There are still five hours to go. Li Yuanxing was going to go to the Grand Arena again to check it out for himself. But there were reports. The Khitan king was only five miles away from Chang'an. Because the heavy snow road is difficult to walk, the light rider came first, just to congratulate the Tang Emperor before the New Year. Honglu Temple. Someone has been sent to greet you.

"Very good, give him the treatment of a first-class VIP!" As soon as Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Wei Zheng stood up against it.

"Your Highness, the Khitan is just a gathering place of nomads who are still a little chaotic, their so-called king cannot be called a king yet, and his prestige is far from enough to control all the Khitan tribes. Therefore, he can't have first-class VIP courtesy, which makes Hui Hui and other Khan kings look at it! ”

Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand and pointed at Wei Zheng, and said in his heart that you still want to do big things with such a dead brain.

But Li Yuanxing can't be blamed, the reason is very simple, because what Wei Zheng said is right, and there is nothing wrong at all.

"In this way, tell the Khitan king that this king will entertain him."

"Feasible!" Wei Zheng nodded, gave a half-salute and turned to leave.

Li Yuanxing asked Wu Cao: "Do you say that this Wei Heizi is a smart person or a stupid person." He should be a very smart guy, he just wants this king to welcome the Khitan Khan King to Qinwangzhuang! ”

Wei Zheng didn't go far, and Li Yuanxing didn't notice who he was talking to, and turned his head again.

"Your Highness, Feng Ang is less than thirty miles away from Chang'an, and he came in person, bringing nine sons, three of whom were left behind, and the other two were all brought. The whole team was five miles long, and it used the county-style customs clearance paperwork. ”

Li Yuanxing was a little puzzled after hearing this: "The Khitan king came over, and the king got the news eighteen days in advance. Feng Ang came over, why did he know now that this king needs a reason! ”

"Your Highness, there are three reasons. First, local officials have official paperwork, so they won't be blocked from passing through. Feng Ang has the title of prince granted by the emperor, so local officials will not report it. The second reason is that the heavy snow closed the road, and Feng Ang came over through Shangzhou, even if the letter was sent from Shangzhou, the messenger would not be faster than Feng Ang for a few hours. And it's not urgent, it's possible that the messenger has already arrived, and there is no chance to report to His Highness today. ”

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Yuanxing nodded: "The third reason is that this king knows." The Security Department of the Tang Empire is already understaffed, and this king has given an order to take care of the north first, and the south can not be ignored. What's more, Feng Ang came after receiving a letter from this king, and that letter was enough to clear the customs, and this king didn't report it to the imperial brother, right! ”

"Yes!" Wei Zheng replied very seriously.

"Arrange it, you go to meet the Khitans in person. This king is ten miles out of the city to welcome Feng An! ”

"Yes!" Wei Zheng bowed and went down to make arrangements.

Li Yuanxing walked quickly in front of Li Er: "Brother Huang, the family banquet in the palace is not attended. The younger brother of the New Year's banquet in the evening is coming again, and the younger brother is going to pick up someone! ”

"Pick up people, although the Khitan Khan King is related to the Liaodong strategy, the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty will welcome him in person, and it will be heavy!" Li Er only knew that a guest from afar in the Tang Dynasty was the Khitan King. (To be continued......)

PS: In the past, there were many people who said that Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty had a climate similar to the current Hainan Island.

I've looked up some sources that before 850 A.D., the climate was similar to modern times. After that, it is the Xiaoice River period, so it should not be as warm as Hainan.

However, Bashu is warmer, but because of the terrain and other reasons.
